118 - QUINTING Ref: NP005, Mysterieuse Case: steel Dial: transparent, made of sapphire discs Movement: electromechanical, housed in the outer ring of the case Strap: original folding clasp Year: approximately 2002 Diameter: 39 mm Note: Conceived by three Swiss engineers—René Quinting, Willy Cleusix, and Norbert Perucchi, the exclusive “Quinting” watch draws inspiration from the principle of transparency—a concept that has fascinated watchmakers ever since Robert-Houdin invented his “mystery watch” in the 19th century. Today, that mechanism has been reimagined in a modern key in the form of a wristwatch. The first transparent model was launched in 1999, following seven years of research; its value, both technical and aesthetic, was recognized immediately.
